Help please cause I’m confused

Cylinders weigh 3 oz.

Prisms weigh 4 oz.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cylinder=3 ounces

Prism=4 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

First this is a question with 2 variables so we must either use the elimination method or substitution method to solve this.

Elimination method:

Cylinders=y

Prisms=x

We know that

4y+5x=32

1y+8x=35

So now we must get rid of one of the variable

4y+5x=32

1y+8x=35 (times 4)

you would get

4y+5x=32

4y+32x=140

when you delete the y you would get

-27x=-108

x=4

and if we plot this in the equation

y+8(4)=35

y+32=35

y=3

So you get an answer of Prism=x=4 ounces and Cylinder=y=3 ounces

I hope this helped with your question!! :)
